Why founders hire us
The e-commerce agency for the Levant, GCC & Europe.
Most e-commerce agencies are either freelancers running ads or design shops that never touch the P&L. We sit in the middle: senior operators who own store, creative, and paid media as one growth system.
- $1.5M+ in paid spend managed by the studio across Meta, Google, and TikTok
- Store builds and re-platforms on Shopify 2.0 and headless
- Native pricing in USD, EUR, AED, and SAR
- Weekly reporting tied to contribution margin, not vanity ROAS
- Retention systems (Klaviyo, WhatsApp, SMS) built alongside acquisition
- Cross-border experience: Beirut ↔ Dubai ↔ Paris
What we deliver
One team for store, creative, and growth.
Conversion Rate Optimisation
We run structured CRO programs, hypothesis-led tests on PDP, cart, checkout, and post-purchase flows. Every winner is documented so your future team doesn't rediscover them.
Paid Media for E-Commerce
Full-funnel Meta, Google, and TikTok. Creative testing pipelines, account structure, offer engineering, and daily pacing tied to contribution margin, not ROAS reported in isolation.
International Scaling
Market entry playbooks for the GCC, Europe, and MENA. Currency, payments, shipping lanes, tax, and creative localisation covered end-to-end. See our full playbook on scaling Shopify internationally.
How we work
A senior partner, not a task shop.
1. Growth audit
Two weeks. We open the P&L, the ad accounts, and the store. You leave with a scored diagnosis of what's blocking growth and a 90-day plan, yours to keep even if we don't work together.
2. 90-day sprint
We fix the highest-leverage constraint first, usually creative, offer, or checkout, and stack wins from there. Weekly syncs, one dedicated Slack channel, one senior owner.
3. Scale & internationalise
Once the base market is compounding, we open the next one. Playbooks travel between Beirut, Dubai, Riyadh, and Paris because we ship them end-to-end for each region.

Who this is for
Three founders we go deep with.
The Lebanese retailer going online
You run a physical retail brand in Beirut, Jounieh, or Tripoli with a loyal customer base and want to translate that offline equity into a Shopify store that respects your brand and actually makes money. We handle the store, the paid layer, and the retention system so you keep operating the business.
The GCC brand entering Lebanon
You're already scaled in the UAE or KSA and Lebanon is your next Levant market. Different logistics, different price sensitivity, and a payment stack that punishes lazy setups. We localise the Shopify layer, the ads, and the offer so the entry is capital-efficient.
The founder scaling past $20K/month
You've validated demand and pushed to twenty-plus thousand a month on hustle. The next stage requires system: creative pipeline, CRO cadence, retention flows, and paid structure. We install the operating layer that takes you to six-figure months without burning margin.
